Saving a Backup Copy of Your Preferences
Before beginning the update process, make a system backup of
your Dell SonicWALL NSA E8500 appliance configuration
settings. The backup feature saves a copy of the current
configuration settings on your Dell SonicWALL appliance,
protecting all your existing settings in the event that it becomes
necessary to return to a previous configuration state.
In addition to using the backup feature to save your current
configuration state to the Dell SonicWALL NSA E8500, you can
export the configuration preferences file to a directory on your
local management station. This file serves as an external
backup of the configuration preferences, and can be imported
back into the Dell SonicWALL appliance.

configuration settings and export them to a file on your local
management station:
